Sanded/Primed/Hung the fender: (yes, hung it again...)


Painted the first layer of black:


Then green:


Then painted "Gadget" in gray:


Pretty happy with it:


"Gadget" is the name given to the first test done for the Trinity Project. Thought it was pretty fitting.

Will post pics with the fender mounted tomorrow.

 

The gas mask is interesting for sure!

 

Homemade fender painting rack...

 

Covert, today is tomorrow. Where are the pictures of the fender on the bike? :-)

 

So impatient! Haha

 

Can I ask what kind of paint you used? And how did you do the lettering? Im going to do my own paint and could probably use a few pointers.

 

Ok, dude - straight up, don't get mad: You approached the rear fender the wrong way. You cut and salvaged the front half, when you should have actually cut and tossed the front half. Reason: If you cut and tossed the front, you could have kept the factory edge of your fender by simply sliding it forward and mounting it. But you didn't do that and your new fender edge looks a bit jagged.



In this pic the tire gap is very tall. I actually don't mind the gap between the fender and tire as much. Look at the area where I drew a yellow circle. You need to cut those sections off that mount to the fender and redrill new mounting points in the fender to eliminate that. If you lower the fender, that will also solve the issue. If you want a straight across fender line, buy a sturdy sanding block and some 36 grit paper. Go back and forth under "the gadget" numerous times to make it even and level. Just throwing my 2 cents to ya. Appreciate constructive criticism.

 

Well ****...
